Server Admin is not showing all users in "Show Users

I've discovered that a previous upgrade from Tiger to Leopard in 2009 has lead to newer users not be displayed Server Admin 'Show Users and Groups'. New groups display fine.
We upgraded again to Snow Leopard a couple of months back and so are running the latest admin tools.
I really can't pick why these accounts aren't showing so any points would be appreciated.
Thanks.

After numerous reinstalls failed to solve this problem, I discovered that on my system, it has to do with using an external monitor (via DVI port). When I drag the Firefox window from my laptop screen to an external monitor, "Show All Bookmarks" is suddenly empty. Dragging the browser window back to the original display (laptop) does NOT fix it. Firefox must be RESTARTED on the original display. When Firefox re-opens, "Show All Bookmarks" functions normally again.
WORK AROUND: the only way I can view "Show All Bookmarks" on my external monitor is to first open both the browser and "Show All Bookmarks" windows on the original display, drag BOTH windows to the other monitor and be sure to leave the "Show All Bookmarks" library window open in the background. If I forget and close it by accident, the problem happens all over again.

Server admin can not connect to server

My 10.6.8 Mac Mini server decided that no user defined in the Workgroup manager should be allowed to connect to the server using Server Admin.
Not root, not admin, not myself although I have admin privileges.
What would be the proper way to fix this?

Os X Server 10.6.5 Server Admin iChat not Editable

Hello All,
I upgraded my server to the most recent release 10.6.5. Previously my Ichat (or so I thought) was set correctly and we modifiable in Server Admin. ONce I updated all fields are greyed out and un-editable. I tried to reinitialize the plist with the PlistBuddy option suggested in this forum with no success.
Here is the output to changeip -checkhostname
bash-3.2$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address = 192.168.1.210
Current HostName = appleXserver.local
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success"
This is obviously wrong. appleXerver.local is the local name of the server. This was working before the update. In server admin it shows that 192.168.1.210 resolves to server.679ave.com. (FDNQ) as it should.
The name server that the primary zone 679ave.com. points to is dns.679ave.com.
Any suggestions? Why did this change (did I have a bug to begin with?).

ok figured out the dns problem...looks like in the system preferences the dns wasn't setup after the update. now sudo changeip -checkhostname gives
bash-3.2$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address = 192.168.1.210
Current HostName = server.679ave.com
DNS HostName = server.679ave.com
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
bash-3.2$
now sudo serveradmin settings jabber gives
bash-3.2$ sudo serveradmin settings jabber
Password:
jabber:s2sRestrictDomains = no
jabber:authLevel = "ANYMETHOD"

Server Admin: VPN Connection Window all blank entries

Using Server Admin, when I goto..
VPN: Connections
It says I have 41 PPTP Connections, but they are all blanked out. There is no username, IP, Internal IP, Protocol, or Connected For. I wish I could attach a picture to show it. Only thing that keeps showing up in the error log is:

Any chance it's a firewall issue?

Does nobody from Apple read this list?
My server still isn't working properly, and it's deeply frustrating.
Having done a lot of investigating I discovered that servermgrd is based on Apache, and I discovered where all it's files live. I've also discovered how to enable the debug menu in Server Admin.
If I try to access the "servermgr_info" command that I am seeing errors from in my servermgrderrorlog file via the command line (using sudo, so it executes as root, just as it should through servermgrd) then it works just fine with no complaints about access. The PasswordServer logs seem to imply that access gets granted when I run up Server Admin.
This seems to point towards servermgrd going wrong somehow and deciding for itself that access cannot be granted. Its configuration had not been changed in any way. Since these errors started all I have done to it has been to increase the logging, which had no effect.
The error message I get from Server Admin is as follows:
The login information is incomplete for this server or is not valid.
One or more services failed to accept the login information you provided for <myserver>. Check the Name and Password and try to log on again or contact your network administrator.
The error in the servermgrderrorlog file on a connection attempt is as I gave in my first message.
Curiously Server Monitor, which also uses servermgrd, is functioning perfectly, with apparently no authentication problems.
I've been very happy with my XServe until this problem came up. Just at the wrong time too - I'm about to expand our infrastructure, and suddenly my Mac server has become harder to administer than my Linux servers. Not very impressive, and the support I'm getting at the moment is far worse than I can get for Linux. Adding new XServe's had been my favoured option, but Linux's star is rising here at the momment.

Server Admin will not connect SSL issue

I try to connect using Server Admin from any computer and I see this in the logs.
servermgrd[58]: Got error -9806 for SSLHandshake
servermgrd[58]: Exception in threadListen: Socket: Connect failed
This all started when I was working on new SSL Certs for the server.
I am trying to find a way to delete the certs via command line.
serveradmin settings info
shows the certs, but for the life of me I can't find a way to delete them.
Any one know how to do this?

ok looking at this file..
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
I see this.
<key>listenForRegularConnections</key>
<flase/>
<key>listenForSSLConnections</key>
<true/>
<key>regularPort</key>
<integer>687</integer>
<key>sslPort</key>
<integer>311</integer>
I changed listenForRegularConnections to true.. then restarted servermgrd.
Now any one know now how do I point Server Admin.app to the correct port listed in the .plist?
I tried localhost:687 and no go..
I don't think the :port works because when I use the ssl port I do not get the error in the logs.
I also stopped the firewall to make sure I wasn't blocking the any ports

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!

Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?
Windows
Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Web service is running but Server Admin says "Not available"

Hello,
I cannot configure the web service using the Server Admin tool any more. The service is running and showing no error, but the "Web" icon in the "Computer & Services" panel of Server Admin is showing dark grey color. The Overview tab of the Web Service is stating: "Web Service is: Not available"
Any ideas what I can do to get it work again?
sudo apachectl configtest gave no errors or warnings.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You should not be logging in as root, despite what anyone has told you.
And the entire mechanism of OS X Server (and most other *nix OS-en), is meant for you to not be logged in as root.
Use sudo and/or authenticate in the GUI when/where needed.
Please try Wesley's advise here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2862670
Try launching apache manually, and watch your logs
Ie:
in one terminal window, type:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
make a new Terminal window and type:
sudo apachectl start

Server admin could not connect to localhost

Hi,
the Problem I have is that I could not connect to the server at localhost. Server admin shows connection error.
Maybe it is a problem with my certificate state. I have deleted the default one and have to recertificate my own one.
Any ideas?

Others have posted in the past that the SA or WGM has 'issues' when the default cert is blown away.
Have you considered doing a clean install on another volume, then move the default from that install back into your current one? Just an idea before I've had my first coffee.

Server Admin does not manage mini server

Running 10.7.3 server on two MacMini's on the same LAN. Both running their apps smoothly. Unique IP's managed via router's DHCP service, along with other networked devices. No IP address conflicts visible; good router. No other LAN problems and other NAS's on the net are behaving. Both mini's are accounted for within the router's DHCP table.
When Server Admin 10.7.3 is launched, both mini's appear in the left window of 10.7.3 server admin under 'servers', however, only one makes itself available for administration; the other has a tilde in a circle icon next to its name and will not come ready when clicked. Both servers are completely manageable using ARD; both desktops mount remotely and are accessible. Ditto when using Apple's stand-alone ScreenSharing app.
Question: why is one server not manageable by the 10.7.3 server admin app, and the other is? I've installed and checked all system versions and network settings on both mini's and they're the same. One mini is a generation behind the other, but both are late models.

Server Admin GUI not displaying complete information

Recently, the Server Admin GUI stopped displaying complete information for one of our servers. It works fine for the other.
All servers are set up very much the same, other than one is an Xserve and one is a G5 tower. The one giving the grief is the G5 tower.
Server Admin is version 10.4.7 and was working fine until a few days ago.
When I click on the computer name (or IP) in the "Computers and Services" list, then look at any of the tabs > "Overview" "Logs" "System" "Graphs" or "Update" no information is retrieved. With the exception of Hard Drive capacity.
All other services (Web, VPN, Mail) report all info without problems.
Weird, hey? Any thoughts appreciated.

Well it pretty easy. I've taken out the code that is unused so you can see what is going on.
import javax.swing.* ;
public class Shareddilog extends JDialog
public static void main(String[] args)
Shareddilog s=new Shareddilog();
s.show();
}This is the only code that is executed in your program. It created a JDialog and then shows it. What you want to do, I imagine, is to put all the GUI stuff in your constructor and make sure you call pack() on it before you are done.

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
No Server expert here, but I'm fairly certain you must replace those 2 files with copies from elsewhere.

Server Admin & WGM not working after 10.6 upgrade

Hi,
I've just done a fresh install of SL Server and migrated my setup from a previous server (10.4.11). Now when i try launch Server Admin or WGM they just hang and have to be force quit. I've tried to reboot, repair permissions and delete the preferences files but still no joy. Has anybody got any ideas?
Thank you in advance
Dave

Network guys had changed DNS server address, updated details in system preferences and everything works now.

Book POV not showing all deminsions for some users

I have a book that is suppose to display Scenario, Year, Period & Currency when it is run. However, one user who runs this book only sees Scenario, Year & Period. Her user group is the same as many others within our company who do not have this problem. Does anyone know why this is happening?

The user only belongs to one group and other users within the group get the full POV selections. Also, we don't have any nested security groups.
This issue has also presented itself in showing the incorrect POV to some users. I've discovered that this is related to the User's POV in User Preferences though I do not know how to fix it.
If you go into File>Preferences and select Financial Reporting on the left you should see a button that says "Setup Members". Once inside, Person A sees Scenario, Year, Period, View, Entity, Value, Account, ICP, C1, C2, C3, C4, this is correct. However, Person B sees Scenario, Year, Period, View, Entity, Value, Account, ICP, C4, C1, C2, C3. When this occurs, and these two run the same book, Person A would see the Proper selections for POV. However, person B would see the incorrect custom dimensions. For example, If C1 should be displayed Person B would see C4, If C2 should be displayed Person B would see C1, etc...
Correct Incorrect
C1 = C4
C2 = C1
C3 = C2
C4 = C3

Admin login not accepted when shutting down multiple users

Hi all
This one is curious. I have a client with a MacBook Pro, 10.5.7, on which she has an admin account and a standard account for guests. I also have created an admin account so I can run updates without needing her password. Both admin accounts work just fine and authorize correctly for logging in, making system updates and unlocking system preferences.
However, when she's been using Fast User Switching to go between the admin and standard accounts, and the standard account is still logged in, trying to shut down from the admin account gives the dialog "There are currently logged in users who may lose unsaved changes...". This dialog presents a blank user and password (ie, the admin name is not auto-filled), and the trouble is, entering ANY of the admin names and passwords (which, remember, work fine in other contexts) results in an "Invalid user name or password" window.
None of the names have non-ASCII characters, and I've tried both short and long versions of the names. I even created a new admin user, and tried that, and it also failed. I have repaired permissions.
Anyone know what might be going on?
EDIT: I should have checked the KB first - apparently it's a known issue. I'll try this and report back.

Thanks!

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog shows ALL advertised to a user independant of the OS they are using

Within SCCM 2007 if a package was to be made available only to the following platforms, it would only show up on those platforms... If a user was using Win XP and had a package meant ONLY for Win7 advertised to them, they would not see it.... It seems as
though in CM12, if a user has advertisements meant for XP, Win7, 64 bit, etc... everything appears in teh application catalog. I also understand that the software center is meant for application publishing and not for regular packages as they were in 2007...
Is there a way to make the packages meant for XP to only appear in the users catalog and NOT show the Win 7 packages?
As we are in the middle of a Win 7 migration, we need to manage this without a lot of work within AD...

Hi,
In Configuration Manager 2012 packages and applications that are made available to users are always displayed in the Application Catalog, the platform requirement is not evaluated until the user actually tries to install the application then the requirements
are evaluated and the installation will not continue if there the requirements doesn't match the plattform.
Software Center will display all packages/programs and applications that are deployed as "available" to devices and not users. User targeted will always show up in the Application Catalog..
